AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! Are they really that dumb?

Okay Syria is in the middle of a 21 month long Civil War.  Tens of thousands have been killed, many more have been injured while hundreds of thousands have fled.

Meanwhile some J-school D student puts this facepalmer in the above story.

The operation risks inflaming already raw sectarian tensions

Gee, ya think?  Given that this is basically a Sunni vs. Shi'ite War (With Christians and other staying the hell out of it), I don't think "sectarian tensions" could get any more "raw".

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

My first thought upon reading the subject, but before clicking on the thread, was, "Yes![/u]" Now that I've read the OP.... my answer remains unrevised. Shi'ite.
